The Great Improvement 
IN 
ROOFING. 
SEPTEMTVETi 1st, 1S70. 
Having'just completed our new manufactory containing 
new and Improved machinery, and all the appliances found 
necessary during our experience of nearly thirteen years In 
the manufacture of Rooting Material?, we desire to tarnish 
samples to Builders, Roofers, General Merchants, and oth- 
ers, of our 
IMPROVED ROOFING MATERIAL, 
which is entirely DIFFERENT FROM any other, and la 
ten' times stieonokr than any Composition Roofing in use. 
An examination of this material will satisfy com potent 
Judges that it Is in every respect a substantial and durable 
fabric, made upon correct principles, perfectly adapted to 
the purpose, and totally uniike the numberless cheap and 
flimsy articles heretofore sold for Roofing purposes; while 
owing to onr extensive manufacturing facilities we can sup- 
ply It for about the same price. 
We also manufacture from the fibrous mtncnfl asbestos a 
FIBROUS ROOF COATING, 
prepared ready for use. which can be applied with a brush, 
and forms an Elcuttc Water-proof Feltmq, on any surface ; 
by use of tins Coaling, old and leaky Roofs can be made ser- 
viceable for many years. 
These materials can be readily applied by any one. De- 
scriptive Pamphlets, Testimonials, Prices, etc., by mail. 
The Roof or the Agriculturist Bnlldingis coated with these 
materials, which have so far proven satisfactory.
